This page contains answers to popular questions in relation to this kernel.

Q: How to TURN ON monitor mode on internal Wi-Fi card?

A: There are two options to switch internal Wi-Fi card to monitor mode:

  • in Kali chroot environment, launch airmon-ng start wlan0;
  • in NetHunter app, navigate to the Custom Commands menu and launch the Start wlan0 in monitor mode.

Be aware that while in monitor mode, you won't be able to connect to a Wi-Fi network like you'd normally do in an Android device.

Q: How to TURN OFF monitor mode on internal Wi-Fi card?

A: Similarly, depending on which approach you chose to turn on the monitor mode, there are two options:

  • in Kali chroot environment -> airmon-ng stop wlan0;
  • in NetHunter app -> Custom Commands -> Stop wlan0 in monitor mode.

Q: Why is there an unused wlan1 interface?

A: Because it's a bug feature of Android 13.

Initially, when launching airmon-ng in Kali chroot environment without any of the interfaces in monitor mode and no external adapters plugged in, you will see two wlan interfaces: wlan0 and wlan1.

This is most likely caused by the Wi-Fi STA/STA Concurrency mechanism. Disabling this seems dangerous, so a workaround is required.

Switching wlan0 to monitor mode disables wlan1 completely. However, when restoring wlan0 to "normal" mode, wlan1 appears back.

Q: How to TURN ON and OFF monitor mode on external Wi-Fi card?

A: For an external card, you would have to use airmon-ng start <interface> and airmon-ng stop <interface> commands.

Q: How do I switch from standard partition ROM to retrofit dynamic partition ROM and vice versa?

A: Refer to these instructions.
